Do some of you maybe remember the "SNES Project", an attempt to cover all Super Nintendo games in existence? Then better read on:

"We are proud to present you the most complete list of Super Nintendo (aka Super Famicom, for our Japanese visitors :) games with screenshots on the web! This is something you won't find anywhere else done on this niveau. We decided to not include homebrew games or demos, as there's too much bullshit floating around. Also, "BS" games (from Nintendo's game channel back then) are missing due to the lack of working emulation for the majority of them at this time [...]"

  • Added Orkin's combiner changes - lots of things are the right colours now!

Lee Yars Quest released
(posted by Lee - 09:43)

A long awaited game for the Atari VCS "simulator" (read the hompage for more information) is now available for download.
The game follows on from the classic shootemup, Yars Revenge which has been voted one of the best releases for the Atari2600 and this looks (at this time Ive not played it..yet!) just as good with new weapons and even has Video Touch Pad support and Easter Eggs to find.

Now get your sweaty paws on it...
